Today is Veterans Day. USPS is closed, but our office is still open. For all mail that is metered today, should we stamp it for today's date? Tomorrow's date? Or no date at all?

Tomorrow. Your meter stamp has to have the date that the Postal Service got the mail from you. If you date it today it will look like they took an extra day to get it delivered. That's why they won't even accept it.

We have always printed the current date on holidays since we still deliver the mail to the post office on working holidays. I know that on minor holidays, there are some post office employees who sort the mail, so the mail may actually go out sooner. We have never had mail that has been metered on a holiday returned to us, but it may depend on how your local post office interprets the regulations.
